A syringe initially holds a sample of gas with a volume of 285 mL at 355 K and 1.88 atm. To what temperature must the gas in the

Ivahew [28]

Answer: The temperature to which the gas in the syringe must be heated is 720.5 K

Explanation:

To calculate the volume when temperature and pressure has changed, we use the equation given by combined gas law.

The equation follows:

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1,V_1\text{ and }T_1$ are the initial pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

$P_2,V_2\text{ and }T_2$ are the final pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

We are given:

$P_1=1.88atm\\V_1=285mL\\T_1=355K\\P_2=2.50atm\\V_2=435mL\\T_2=?K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1.88atm\times 285mL}{355K}=\frac{2.50atm\times 435mL}{T_2}\\\\T_2=\frac{2.50\times 435\times 355}{1.88\times 285}=720.5K$

Hence, the temperature to which the gas in the syringe must be heated is 720.5 K

A chemist wants to extract copper metal from copper chloride solution. The chemist places 0.50 grams of aluminum foil in a solut

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Approximately 0.36 grams, because copper (II) chloride acts as a limiting reactant.

Explanation:

It is a stichiometry problem.

We should write the balance equation of the mentioned chemical reaction:

2Al + 3CuCl₂ → 3Cu + 2AlCl₃.

It is clear that 2.0 moles of Al foil reacts with 3.0 moles of CuCl₂ to produce 3.0 moles of Cu metal and 2.0 moles of AlCl₃.

Also, we need to calculate the number of moles of the reported masses of Al foil (0.50 g) and CuCl₂ (0.75 g) using the relation:

n = mass / molar mass

The no. of moles of Al foil = mass / atomic mass = (0.50 g) / (26.98 g/mol) = 0.0185 mol.

The no. of moles of CuCl₂ = mass / molar mass = (0.75 g) / (134.45 g/mol) = 5.578 x 10⁻³ mol.

From the stichiometry Al foil reacts with CuCl₂ with a ratio of 2:3.

∴ 3.85 x 10⁻³ mol of Al foil reacts completely with 5.578 x 10⁻³ mol of CuCl₂ with (2:3) ratio and CuCl₂ is the limiting reactant while Al foil is in excess.

From the stichiometry 3.0 moles of CuCl₂ will produce the same no. of moles of copper metal (3.0 moles).
So, this reaction will produce 5.578 x 10⁻³ mol of copper metal.
Finally, we can calculate the mass of copper produced using:

mass of Cu = no. of moles x Atomic mass of Cu = (5.578 x 10⁻³ mol)(63.546 g/mol) = 0.354459 g ≅ 0.36 g.

So, the answer is:

Approximately 0.36 grams, because copper (II) chloride acts as a limiting reactant.
